Real-time detection of gaseous isotopic water molecules via photoinduced associative ionization mass spectrometry: Direct identification realized by distinctive mass spectrum patterns.

The real-time detection of gaseous HO and its typical isotopic molecules, e.g., HO, DO, HDO, and HTO, is highly desirable in many fundamental scientific studies and practical monitoring, such as mechanistic studies of HO-involved chemical reactions and radiation risk warning of abnormal HTO emissions.

Surfactant-modified zein nanoparticles adsorbents for ultrafast and efficient removal of Cr(VI).

The adsorption and removal of heavy metal ions Cr(VI) is of great significance for human health and ecological environment. Here, an ultrafast and high efficient adsorbent for Cr(VI) was developed based on cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-modified zein nanoparticles (C-ZNPs). In comparison to pristine zein nanoparticles (ZNPs) (11.

Reverse logistics planning research of building waste from perspective of closed supply chain in urban sustainable environment governance.

The resource utilization of building waste in urban sustainable environment governance is significant, in view of the status of construction waste recycling; this article built a reverse logistics planning model in urban building waste from the perspective of a closed supply chain by means of a hybrid nonlinear programming model. Combining the simulated annealing algorithm with memory function and the genetic algorithm with global convergence performance, a new genetic simulated annealing algorithm is presented to optimize the model. The empirical study was then made for the system to verify the feasibility of the model.

A deep learning-based framework for automatic analysis of the nanoparticle morphology in SEM/TEM images.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are important tools for characterizing nanomaterial morphology. Automatic analysis of the nanomaterial morphology in SEM/TEM images plays a crucial role in accelerating research on nanomaterials science. However, achieving a high-throughput automated online statistical analysis of the nanomaterial morphology in various complex SEM/TEM images is still a challenging task.

Meta-analysis on the association between xeroderma pigmentosum Group A A23G polymorphism and esophageal cancer in a Chinese population.

Aim Of The Study: Several studies have evaluated the correlation between xeroderma pigmentosum Group A (XPA) A23G polymorphism (rs 1800975) and esophageal cancer in Chinese people. However, the results are inconsistent. To assess the effects of XPA A23G variants on the risk for development of esophageal cancer in the Chinese population, a meta-analysis was performed.

A novel evaluation method for building construction project based on integrated information entropy with reliability theory.

Selecting construction schemes of the building engineering project is a complex multiobjective optimization decision process, in which many indexes need to be selected to find the optimum scheme. Aiming at this problem, this paper selects cost, progress, quality, and safety as the four first-order evaluation indexes, uses the quantitative method for the cost index, uses integrated qualitative and quantitative methodologies for progress, quality, and safety indexes, and integrates engineering economics, reliability theories, and information entropy theory to present a new evaluation method for building construction project. Combined with a practical case, this paper also presents detailed computing processes and steps, including selecting all order indexes, establishing the index matrix, computing score values of all order indexes, computing the synthesis score, sorting all selected schemes, and making analysis and decision.

Observational studies and a statistical early warning of surface ozone pollution in Tangshan, the largest heavy industry city of North China.

Continuous measurements of surface ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) at an urban site (39°37'N, 118°09'E) in Tangshan, the largest heavy industry city of North China during summertime from 2008 to 2011 are presented. The pollution of O3 was serious in the city. The daily maximum 1 h means (O3_1-hr max) reached 157 ± 55, 161 ± 54, 120 ± 50, and 178 ± 75 μg/m3 corresponding to an excess over the standard rates of 21%, 27%, 10%, and 40% in 2008-2011, respectively.

Epidermal growth factor receptor-related DNA repair and radiation-resistance regulatory mechanisms: a mini-review.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is associated with resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The EGFR modulates DNA repair after radiation-induced damage through an association with the catalytic subunit of DNA protein kinase. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most lethal type of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation, and non-homologous end joining is the predominant pathway for repair of radiation-induced DSBs.

[Application research of data assimilation in air pollution numerical prediction].

Based on an air pollution modeling system coupling with the non-hydrostatic fifth generation mesoscale meteorological model (MM5) and the regional modeling system for aerosols and deposition (REMSAD), the forecast results of NOx and SO2 in August and September 2002 in Nanjing were assimilated with the optimal interpolation method and the ensemble Kalman filter. The results show that the improvement rates of deviation mean value of NOx and SO2 after assimilated with the optimal interpolation method are 34.20% and 47.
